63. So why is the manager not releasing it?

A potential lawsuit? BULLSHIT! Unless he's planning to drop a pointless and expensive defamation/slander lauwsuit on Hussein's head, releasing the video can only make any potential lawsuit AND Hussein go away. IF it is as the manager characterises.

Hussein called 911 in a State where he almost certainly knows, being Not White is considered a crime all in it's own right by far, far too many of Louisiana's "finest".

Although the articles doesn't state: I strongly suspect the officer who attended, told the Husseins what they would have to do, and how long it would take if they wanted to formally press charges. "Just take it on the chin and move on."

Normally I am one to ask for both sides to a story before making a decision, or at the least play a sometimes very unpopular devil's advocate, but when one party says: "I don't have to tell you my side, but he's wrong." I'll take that with a very large grain of salt, and provisionally assume they're a lying sack of shit.
